Listening is a practice of awe-making, shape-shifting, realm-hopping, relationship building, the cultivation of attention.
In an age where our attention is pulled to far too many places at far too great a speed, it is a tremendous thing to offer our attention.
Intentional sound offerings and attentive listening practices have the potential to, at once, bring us deeper into our bodies while making room for the imaginal, the poetic, the cosmic, the collective and the self.
Are you listening, now?
AURAL ARTIST

CHARLIE LOVES TO LISTEN.
A queer sound maker, certified Deep Listening® practitioner, and somatic facilitator, they hold embodied experiences that weave somatic frameworks, electro-acoustic soundscape creation, attentional ecology, Deep Listening practices, sonic world-building, and imagination work.
Charlie has been leading immersive sound experiences since 2012, and has been leading trainings in the art of embodied sound meditation creation since 2015. As an artist, they work inside the mediums of sonic art, movement, performance poetry, movement, and photography.
Charlie’s offerings are nervous system informed and rooted in curiosity, cultural and scientific research, and creative awe through listening. They are deeply orientated to a world of liberation and self-realization of all sentient beings, and believes that collective listening and spaces for slowness are vital for imagining new worlds and orienting to awe.
Charlie offers sound experiences, retreats, and trainings globally. They currently reside as an uninvited settler on the stolen, ancestral territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən speaking peoples, colonially known today as Victoria, BC.
